You'd want tracks that will enable you to pinpoint instruments in a band, rather than a wall of sound. There should be a female singer, this will let you determine if the voice comes dead-centre

I'd suggest:

Don't know why - Norah Jones
The day before you came - Anne Sophie von Otter
Nicholas Drake - Judith Owen
Ghazali (Plucked double bass) - Renaud Garcia-Fons
Concertina in D, composed by Albrechtsberger
Georgia Swing - The Bourbon Street Stompers
Limehouse Blues - Jazz at the Pawnshop
Colour to the Moon - Allan Taylor
